Tallahassee, FL – Homeowners in Florida are frequently exposed to dangerous levels of radon and an expanding business is ready to keep people safe from this toxic gas. Employees of Indoor Environmental Management have just completed expert-level training and are ready to take care of all of the area’s radon problems- a problem which kills more than 20,000 people every year.

A study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows that Northern Floridians are at a high risk when it comes to radon exposure. Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that comes from the natural radioactive breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. The danger occurs when high levels of radon become concentrated in a home. When radon is inhaled, radioactive particles become trapped in lungs and decay, damaging lung cells. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.

That’s why John Hassler decided to add radon measurement and mitigation to his list of services. “Keeping families healthy in their own homes isn’t just a business for me, it’s my passion,” the Indoor Environmental Management owner said. “We are excited to be able to give homeowners some peace of mind and clean air to breathe.”

Indoor Environmental Management offers a full range of radon services, from testing to see if a home has a high concentration of radon to mitigating the radon with an aesthetically pleasing mitigation package.
